Lets Begin :

****Please note - I post screen shots with settings that I used for each tutorial, please feel free to use my settings if you would like, I have no problem at all with that. You may also play around with your own settings to get a look that you prefer. Nothing is set in stone. But I want you to feel comfortable and if you are just learning & would like to use my settings please feel free, that is what they are there for.****

Start with opening a new 800 X 600 white canvas. (Don't worry you will crop it later. This just gives you enough room to work.)

Now from your scrapkit - Open Frame_5 - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then position it in the center of your canvas.

Now activate your Magic Wand tool - then click inside your Frame_5

Then go to Selections - Modify - Expand - Set it to 8 then click ok.

Now from your scrapkit - open Paper_8 - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then go to Selections - click Invert. Then on your keyboard press your Delete key 1 time. Now go back to Selections & click Select None.

Go over to your Layers Pallet - move your Paper_8 layer down so that it is directly under your Frame_5 layer.

Now go to Effects - 3D Effects - Drop Shadow (Use the same settings you used above)

Now open Element_28 - Copy & Paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then re-size it to 25%. Using your move tool, position your element to the upper left corner of your Frame_5.

Now go to Effects - click 3D Effects - then click Inner Bevel

Click Ok

Now open Element _2 - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then re-size it to 45%. Position it to the right side of your frame. Make it so it is in front of your Tree element. (Element_30)

Go to Adjust - Sharpness - Sharpen

Then apply a drop shadow.

Open Element_5 - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then re-size it to 40%. Position it in the inside of your Frame_5.

Now go to Adjust - Sharpness - Sharpen

Then apply a drop shadow.

Then go to your layers pallet and right click on your Element_5 - then click Duplicate. Then right click on your Duplicated Element_5 layer & click Duplicate again.

Now if you are going to animate you will need to do these next steps, if you wish not to animate, then do not duplicate your Element_5 layer & move on to the step "Open Element_6")

Now in your layers pallet - you will want to rename the 3 Element_5 (Web) layers. Starting from the one on the bottom, rename it to Web 1, then the second one rename it Web 2, then the 3rd one rename it Web 3.

Now next to each layer you will see an eye icon. One your Web 2 & Web 3 layers , click the eye next to each of those two layers. Then click on the Web 1 layer its self. (not the eye)

Go to Effects - click Plugins - Alien Skin Xenofex 2 - Constellation

Then click Ok.

Now in your layers pallet - click on the eye next to your Web 2 layer to open that layer. Then click the eye next to your Web 1 layer to close the layer. Then click on your Web 2 layer - go to Effects - Plugins - Alien Skin Xenofex 2 - Constellation - This time you will only click the Random Seed button 1 time , then click Ok.

Open Element_27 - Copy & paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then re-size it to 15%. Go to Image- click Free Rotate , set it to Left 30.00 & click Ok. Now go to Effect s- 3D Effects - Inner Bevel & apply the same settings as before. Also apply a drop shadow.

Now in your layers pallet - click on your White Background layer -

Open Element_29 - Copy & Paste it as a new layer onto your canvas - then re-size it to 80%. Position it to the top of your frame.

Sharpen & apply a drop shadow.

Then go back to your layers pallet - right click on your Element_29 layer - then click Duplicate. Now go to Image & click Flip.

Go to Animation Shop - Right click on your grey work area - click Paste As New Animation

Go back to PSP -

In your layers pallet - click on the eye next to your Web 2 layer to open it, then click the eye next to your Web 1 layer to close it. Click on your Web 2 layer - go to Edit - Copy Special - Copy Merged

Go to Animation Shop - Right click inside Frame 1 that you just put there, click Paste - After Current Frame

Go back to PSP -

Click on Web 3 layer - also click on the eye next to your Web 3 layer to open it, then click the eye next to your Web 2 layer to close it.

Then got o Edit - Copy Special - Copy Merged

Go to Animation Shop

Right click inside Frame 2 - click Paste - After Current Frame.

Now view your animation to make sure you like it.

Then all that is left is to re-size your tag & save it as a GIF file.

(To re-size in animation shop - use your Shift & S keys on your keyboard at the same time & that will open your re-sizing menu.)
